Yes, nickels struck during WWII (1942-1945) and have a large mintmark over the Monticello are 35% silver. The rest of them use the standard copper-nickel composition. There was, however, a tiny silver coin known as the half-dime that was struck until the 1873. They were 90% silver and today have more value as a collector item than melt value except if very worn.
